Objectives. Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) has been detected in tissue from
coronary atherosclerotic vascular lesions and may be involved in the pathogenesis of …

This study was done to evaluate whether anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae seropositivity can be
a predictor of restenosis after coronary intervention. Recent studies indicate that latent …

BACKGROUND: Chlamydia pneumoniae infection has been associated with atherosclerosis
by sero-epidemiological, histopathological and interventional studies, and animal …

Background: The aim of this study was to establish whether Chlamydia pneumoniae is
implicated in the development of restenosis in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) …

Background: There was linle angiographic follow-up data and pathologic studies for patients
receiving stents at extracranial carotid arteries. The purpose of this study was to assess the …

Background: Chlamydia pneumoniae has been associated with coronary artery disease by
both seroepidemiological studies, and by direct detection of the micro-organism in …

Aim: To clarify whether there is any association between the extent of Chlamydia
pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) infection and plaque instability or post–directional coronary …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown an incremental role of inflammation in late
prognosis following coronary stenting (CS). In particular, high preprocedural levels of …

Objective: This study sought to evaluate the prognostic significance of the presence of DNA
of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the coronary atherosclerotic lesions of patients with unstable …
